Chapter 1268 Reunion for a Moment
"Cheers to welcome our new member!"
In the evening, a long table was set up in the open space in front of the Witch Building, and a lively welcome banquet was held. Wendy and Shujuan took the lead in picking up the wine glasses and raising them towards them.
"Cheers!" The other witches agreed.
Dai Lan and Momo were holding cups, looking at a loss.
She didn't expect that after she agreed to join the alliance, Wendy immediately dragged her into an extremely comfortable hot bath and then put on a brand new set of clothes, including underwear, shoes and socks. Before she could recover from her gratitude and guilt, she was brought to the front of the building again, but this time, the lawn had changed.
"At this time, just shout "Cheers" and then drink up the drink in the glass in one gulp." Luojia demonstrated, "For example, like me - gulu gulu gulu -"
"Cheers... cheers..." Dai Lan summoned up the courage to imitate, then closed his eyes and put the cup to his mouth.
“Tons, tons, tons, tons—”
There was a burst of whistles and applause from the crowd.
"Luojia is coaxing people to drink together again," Lily curled her lips and said, "Who said you have to drink it all in one gulp after toasting? I think she just wants to drink."
"But that's the strawberry white bar brewed by Evelin. It's actually on par with the Wolf Girl. I underestimated her." Miyue said with a sigh, "Such a talent must join our detective team."
"So your group will be full of slackers and drunkards from now on, which is indeed a good match for you."
"You're still in the group!" Miyue said, raising her index finger.
"I - no! And you still owe me a ten-yuan coupon!"
"Well, forget about it, we can start over."
"go away!"
"Hiccup--" After Dai Lan drank a whole glass of wine, she felt her vision drifting. She had been forced to drink various kinds of wine with him before, but none of them were as hot as the one she was drinking now. The wine is not bitter when it enters the throat, but has a rich and mellow aroma. It is not until it enters the stomach that you can feel that it is far richer than ale.
But the biggest difference wasn't the drink, but her mood at the moment.
Seeing the wolf girl adding a second glass of wine to the glass full of fighting spirit, and seeing the enthusiastic smiles of the witches around her, Dai Lan felt for the first time that drinking was not such a painful thing. It made me want to feel the same way as everyone else, and it also made the emotions that had been suppressed in my heart for a long time begin to loosen.
At this time, another tall woman walked up to her holding a wine glass.
"Welcome to Neverwinter. My name is Annie. I come from Wolfheart just like you. Even the experience of searching for the Bloodfang Society is similar to yours."
Dai Lan was startled, "Could it be that you were also taught by Xueya..."
"That's right, but I escaped halfway. There are also many witches who escaped from Wolf Heart to Graycastle, such as this one..." The other party was pulled out from behind a witch who seemed a little nervous, "Ifei , she was even a member of the Bloodfang Society. It’s just that she didn’t know about Hetty Morgan’s trafficking in witches at the time, but fortunately it’s all over now.”
It took Dai Lan a while to get a general understanding of the establishment of the Bloodfang Society. It turned out that she and Momo were not the only ones who were forced to live in Gray Castle due to Hetty Morgan's selfish desires. And this nightmare-like organization also disappeared two years ago.
Hearing this, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
On the way to escape, the two of them dreamed countless times that they would be caught by the Blood Fang Society and returned to the hands of the nobles. Now knowing that this organization no longer exists is equivalent to untying a heavy knot in my heart.
"I'm sorry," Effie lowered her head and said, "If I could have stopped Hetty, these things might not have happened..."
"It's not your fault," Momo shook her head, "And...even if you can stop her, you can't stop those nobles."
"Indeed, it doesn't matter whether the leader is a witch or not. Without Hetty, someone else would come to make a new deal with them." Dai Lan knew the desires of those people very well. As long as they tasted the sweetness, they would never let go easily.
"Look, I said they won't blame you, right?" Annie smiled, "Now that you have arrived in Neverwinter City, you can come to us to discuss any difficulties in the future. Even a confused person like Effie can live here, I I believe you will be fine."
"Here you go." After speaking, she raised her glass.
"Cheers." This time, Dai Lan said it much more smoothly.
"It's my turn next!" Luojia shouted with a blush on his face.
"And me!" Lightning also joined in, "I'm an adult and can drink!"
"Cuckoo!"
"You can't, pigeons can't drink."
"Gu!?"
"Hey, don't just drink, you should also eat something."
"Nanava, you are not an adult yet, don't make trouble with them!"
The atmosphere on the lawn became more and more lively.
"There have been no new members joining the alliance for a long time, and now there are suddenly two more. It seems that everyone is very happy." Beside the long table, Shujuan couldn't help but sigh.
"It is indeed the right thing to take them to visit the Witch Building first. I gradually understand His Majesty's methods." Wendy said with a smile, "Even if they come into contact with Maleficent first, I am sure to bring them over. According to His Majesty's instructions In other words, this is called sugar-coating...what the hell."
"You are doing more and more impressively," Shujuan joked. "Obviously at the beginning, I felt that I was not capable enough, but now I am ready to take advantage of His Highness Tilly."
"I'm just making an analogy. It's not like you've been able to pick up everything very quickly since you were in the Mutual Aid Association." Wendy poured her a cup of Chaos Drink, "But speaking of words, such a lively scene is really a sight to behold. I’m not tired of it.”
"It's a pity that we can only watch from the sidelines." Shujuan shrugged.
"What's wrong with that? If possible, I hope to stay by their side and watch." Wendy said softly.
Shujuan didn't answer any more, and the two fell silent, enjoying the delicious food of the dinner while looking at the lively crowd. For them, this is not speechless, but a tacit understanding formed by getting along for a long time.
Until a familiar voice intervened, "After the banquet is over, Your Majesty would like to meet the witch named Momo."
The figure of the nightingale gradually emerged from the mist.
Wendy quickly realized what Roland was thinking, and her originally relaxed expression condensed slightly, "This..."
"Take her with you," Shujuan said. "From the moment you reported your abilities, something like this was bound to happen. After all, His Majesty is more curious than anyone else."
Wendy was silent for a moment, "I understand."
"If you don't want to know the answer, just resign first. I think His Majesty will understand." Shujuan paused, "But no matter what the answer is, we will continue as always, right?"
"...That's right," Wendy seemed to repeat and affirm herself, "no matter what the answer is."
